ammunition for Garand

[Adam Helmer]

Aim,

I just checked my NRA "Firearms Assembly" book and the part that broke was the Operating Rod Catch just where the Accelerator Pin goes through to hold the Accelerator. The Follower Rod goes through the Catch and high pressure apparently broke the Catch holding the Accelerator. I suspect there was oscillation of the Follower Rod that broke the catch due to high pressures. I replaced the catch and switching to IMR4895 solved the parts breakage problem.
